4. Determinesuitabilityandstructuralintegrityofexistingsignafterremovalofexistinglightingequipment.Ifretrofitdoesnotrequirethemakingofany new holes, do not make or alter any open holes in an enclosure of wiring or electrical components during kit installation. If existing holes are present in a wet or outdoor location sign, repair and seal any unused openings in the electrical enclosure. Openings greater than 0.5" (12.7 mm) diameter require a metal patch secured by screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be sealed with non-hardening caulk.

5. Clean inside of sign using non-oil based cleaner. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and ensure inside of sign is dry before proceeding with installation. This is an important step for good adhesion of SloanLED channel letter module mounting tape.

6. To populate sign, refer to SloanLED PrismBEAM 24V density guidelines as well as power supply loading chart (page 4) to determine appropriate number of modules and power supplies. A list of acceptable power supply models is shown in the charts on page 4.

7. Follow all instructions on pages 1 and 2 under "New Installation" to properly install LED modules.

8. Connect SloanLED PrismBEAM 24V assemblies to power supply output as shown on page 2 under "New Installation".

9. Connect power supply input as outlined in power supply installation guide in accordance with local, state and national electrical codes by qualifiedpersonnel.Refertopowersupplyinstallguideincludedwithpowersupplyfordetails.

WARNING: Risk of fire or electric shock. Install this kit only in host signs that have been identified in the installation instructions, and where the input rating of the retrofit kit does not exceed the input rating of the sign. Installation of this LED retrofit kit may involve drilling or punching of holes into the structure of the sign. Check for enclosed wiring and components to avoid damage to wiring and electrical parts. AVERTISSEMENT: Risque d’incendie ou de choc électrique. Installez ce kit uniquement sur les panneaux hôtes identifiés dans les instructions d'installation et dans lesquels les caractéristiques nominales d'entrée du kit de modification ne dépassent pas celles du panneau. L’installation de ce kit d’amélioration des LED peut impliquer de percer ou de percer des trous dans la structure de l’enseigne. Vérifiez le câblage et les composants inclus pour éviter d'endommager le câblage et les pièces électriques.

GENERAL PURPOSE RETROFIT SIGN CONVERSION.FOR USE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH KIT INSTRUCTIONS.

KIT IS COMPLETE ONLY WHEN ALL PARTS REQUIRED BY THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE PRESENT.

CAUTION: Turn off power to sign before inspecting or removing existing light source. Power must remain off while installing LED product.ATTENTION: Coupez l'alimentation générale du panneau avant d'intervenir ou de retirer la source lumineuse existante. L'alimentation générale doit être coupée tout au long de l'installation du kit de remplacement en LED.

TroubleshootingEntire box/cabinet or product does not light after complete installation.

Check connection from power supply lead to first lamp. Make sure polarity of connections made at power supply lead and any jumper wire is correct. Power supply outputs should be connected RED-TO-RED (+) and BLACK-TO-WHITE (-).

Still does not light. Check output voltage of power supply using a voltmeter. Output voltage should be DC 24.0 V ± 0.5 V. If there is no output voltage, have a licensed electrician check input voltage. Make sure power supply is connected correctly and getting primary power. If power supply is connected properly and getting primary power and there is still no output voltage, try a different power supply.

Still does not light. If power supply is getting primary power and lamps don’t light, there may be a short in secondary wiring. Check all connections and cap all loose wires.

The beginning of a lamp lights, but entire lamp does not light or lights intermittently.

Primary cause of a portion of a lamp not lighting or lighting intermittently is a bad connection or reverse polarity connection between lamps that light and lamps that don’t light. Check this connection.

One lamp does not light, but all others in cabinet light.

SloanLED PrismBEAM 24V is designed so if one lamp fails, it will not cause entire box/cabinet to go out. If one lamp does not light, but all others do, replace this lamp with a new one.

If longer lead wire from power supply to LED product is needed, an extension can be used. Extension should be kept as short as possible, i.e., under 15 ft use 18 AWG UL Listed PLTC (4.6 m for 1 mm² PLTC) or under 50 ft use 14 AWG UL Listed PLTC (15.2 m for 2.5 mm² PLTC).
